LEA & ESTHER BIRRINGER

 

 

'Same wavelength,compatible temperament, blind faith - key parameters in chamber music

for rousing interpretations.'

(BR-Klassik)

Musical sisters: Lea and Esther Birringer, violin and piano

Lea Birringer has firmly established herself as one of the most celebrated German violinists to emerge internationally in recent years. Described by the NDR as an 'outstanding violinist of the younger generation', she delights audiences with her charm, emotion and virtuosity.

Her sister, pianist Esther Birringer, generates equal enthusiasm among the public with her confident style and playing which is both sensitive and exciting. Musical critics have described her as a 'lyrical poetess of the piano' and her interpretations as 'congenial'.

 

Since their shared international success in major chamber music competitions in 2011, the sisters have also conquered the concert halls as a duo, 'bursting' – in the words of the Bayrischer Rundfunk - 'with the joy of playing music and with their musical energy.'

 

Following their debut recording (Avi-Music), which featured seldom-played repertoire from the 20th century, the British label Rubicon Classics has released their second album 'Lifelines' containing late Romantic works. 'The pair approach them with style and the full-blooded commitment they bring to the entire disc.' (Gramophone)
